Promoting Efficient Land Use and

Enhancing Food Security

China Good urbanization policy includes conservation of naturalresources energy, water, land and the environment.

The incentives faced by urban managers encourage implicit

or explicit conversion of farmland to urban use and over-dependence on automobiles which promotes urban sprawl.

Efficient land use between the urban and rural sectors andwithin cities would be promoted through more market-

oriented policies which improve property rights andincentive systems and regulate emerging urban landmarkets.

Contd.Some possibilities discussed in the report include thefollowing:

Full recognition of the property rights of peasants overtheir rural leaseholds and village lands. Have cities facethe true cost of taking of agricultural land.

Strengthen the property rights of existing urban land

users, so as to encourage redevelopment of (brown-field) land for new uses within the city, instead of(green-field) conversion of farmland.


9/18

Contd. Institute zoning law to strengthen urban land use

regulation.

Master/zoning plans could be approved by the localPeoples Congress to give them legal status, so as tobetter regulate land allocations to coordinate publicand private land use and transport systems.

Integrate urban villages into city administration,while preserving property rights


10/18

Contd. International experience shows that China could

significantly improve grain production in the nextdecade, with large reductions in farm population anddeclines in the amount of agricultural land.

Such improvements require transformation ofagriculture, with relaxation of policies restricting salesof rural leaseholds, to encourage consolidation ofland- holding, along with improvement in ruraleducation and investment in agriculturalmechanization.

The Dutch programme on

socioeconomic inequalities in health Two comprehensive research programmes were

commissioned to increase understanding of healthinequalities.

The first, 19891993, generated considerableknowledge about the extent of inequalities and theirdeterminants in the Netherlands. The causes ofinequalities were revealed to be both structural, suchas living and working conditions, and behavioural,such as smoking and exercise.


12/18

Contd. A second programme was initiated in 1995 in order to

generate more knowledge on the effectiveness ofinterventions and policies to reduce these inequalities.


13/18

The strategy The Dutch Programme on Socioeconomic Inequalities

in Health, established in 2001, has four policystrategies (30):

To reduce inequalities in education and income; To reduce the negative effects of health problems on

socioeconomic position;

To reduce the negative effects of socioeconomic

position on health (for example, reduce prevalence ofsmoking in the lower socioeconomic groups); and

To improve access and effectiveness of health care forlow socioeconomic groups.


14/18

disadvantage The percentage of children from poorer families who

enter secondary education is to be increased from 12%in 1989 to 25% by 2020.

The income inequalities in the Netherlands are to bemaintained at the level of 1996 (Gini coefficient =0.24).

The percentage of households with an income below105% of the social minimum is to be reduced from10.6% in 1998 to 8% by 2020.
